| Message | Do you think the Right Party might be a little angry as to why he wasn't included? |

| Message | Yes, but does it matter? They can't do anything to stop it and it isn't the first time the second biggest party has been left out of a cabinet. |

| Message | Possibly, but look at it this way. The three most active parties are in government. We may not agree with each other on everything, but almost everything thats been put to vote so far this parliamentary session, we've voted together so have already passed. Sounds like a good, quick, efficient government to me. |

| Message | Thats true, we can get a little testy with each other every so often, but we've accomplished more in 45 minutes then 6 day's worth of bills that never go anywhere. I know that both of your parties will be active almost every day so there are no worries about your parties just fading away. And I believe we have a good balance of political opinions and what role the government dhould play. We have similiar beliefs on many issues but we also differ enough to keep things interesting. I guess our different cultures add a great deal to this game. Like my gun police act bill for example, a cop without a gun here in the US wouldn't last 2 months. Thats why I was so adamant about it. |

| Message | This cabinet proposal is unacceptable, our party is just as actively involved as any of the three parties mentioned.We fail to see the reasons behind your decision to exclude us from the government.Besides, as it has been witnessed previously, we are pretty much on the same line of thinking as LPU.This cabinet goes against the basic principle of the democracy. |

| Message | "This cabinet proposal is unacceptable, our party is just as actively involved as any of the three parties mentioned." -Only recently though. The WSS and myself have been active since Hobrazia's foundation so... "We fail to see the reasons behind your decision to exclude us from the government." - I disagee with you a lot. I agree with the WSS a lot. We three work well in a cabinet together. "Besides, as it has been witnessed previously, we are pretty much on the same line of thinking as LPU." - I'm not, the WSS's not so in a cabinet with us two you don't fit. "This cabinet goes against the basic principle of the democracy." - It's been democratically passed and I see no principle that it broke. |

| Message | This is simply outrageous.Voting deadline was supposed to be January 2083.We are only in June 2082 now, meaning voting was only given one month and UB puts an end to it!ISure, there is nothing we could do about it, or about any of your decisions, since you are in the majority but wouldn't it have been more honest if you took appropriate measures to stop new parties from joining Hobrazia altogether, since your method of running things is utterly discriminating? |

| Message | "Voting deadline was supposed to be January 2083.We are only in June 2082 now, meaning voting was only given one month and UB puts an end to it!" - Game feature - cabinet bills pass as soon as 50% is gained. Express your distate on the forums. "wouldn't it have been more honest if you took appropriate measures to stop new parties from joining Hobrazia altogether" - Impossible. Without new parties joing Hobrazia would be a two party state. As it stands there is a constant changing of power, e.g. my return to power, your rise, the CSP's fall, the WSS's rise, etc., which makes it more interesting. "your method of running things is utterly discriminating" - How? A coalition only works if the parties can agree with each other. At present I do not agree with you on most important matters. Remember this is just a game. Parties rise and fall. The biggest can go to smallest and vice versa. A cabinet position isn't everything in life. Just enjoy the game. |
